Why do humans even exist?
Pic unrelated. What are we being tested for? What's the point? To Christians for example, life is a binary decision between God and hell. So why the suffering in between? Is there really anything in the world around us that's worthwhile? It's easier to believe there is when you're blessed with material abundance, but everyone else is left to live their lives trying to squeeze blood from a stone.
The mortal experience seems entirely superfluous. Why should there be anyone anywhere doing anything? Why make some people ugly, or stupid, or poor? Why bother? It seems inefficient. I can't think of any reason anyone should want to live. Anyone who isn't having an almost exclusively positive experience, that is. Obviously there is some evolutionary component that predisposes us towards trying to survive, whether or not our existences are especially pleasant, but logically I can't think of any reason why. For the possibility of relief? What if it never comes? Then all the suffering is wasted. For most people, it never seems to. We live short, undignified lives of quiet desperation then gracelessly expire, either from a medical issue or some gruesome circumstance that leaves us dead and bloodied on the ground. Being a human is an awful deal. What's the point?
